I have more information about the Eyedrum benefit show! It sounds like it’s going to be a crazy time with tons of very eclectic music. You can find out more about this HERE and HERE.
The important details:
I’m excited to see how this unfolds.

We have had such a great week! One week ago today Zoloft and I performed for the kids at Circus Camp at the northern Dunwoody campus, and today we had the opportunity to play for the Dacula campus as well! Thanks to everyone over at Circus Camp for being such good hosts, and for all the campers specifically for being such a great audience! We got some awesome video and a few very good photos of all this stuff, so look for that in the coming week…just as soon as I can find the right cable.
We already have a busy August shaping up. Dates to catch Thimblerig Circus in the near future include:
Other possibilities are brewing, but we will wait for a while on those. Look for dates to pop up in the sidebar!
Other items of note…Thimblerig Circus will be working with the incredibly talented artist Jason Thomas to create some T-shirts and other clearly necessary accouterments. Hopefully we will all be sporting these new status symbols soon!
Hopefully we will be seeing you all soon!

Man, did we have a busy week last week! Everything went so incredibly well! I hope everyone had as much fun at the Gyrasticus event as we did…what an awesome crowd that was. Thanks to everyone that was involved…you all did a fantastic job!
Next up on the Thimblerig docket: Circus Camp! Thimblerig Circus will be performing Thursday 8th and 15th for the campers, and we are really looking forward to it. Circus Camp is really cool organization, and if you’ve never heard of them you should check them out here.
That’s all for now! Have a great Fourth of July everybody!

Hello everyone! I have so much to tell you! We have had a great month so far, and already have shows planned through the end of it! First of all, I have spent some time on the website…and though I am learning really slowly how to make stuff work around here, I have successfully updated the photos page through the use of a great Flickr tie-in program. Check out the photos! I’ll be working on this some more over the next few days to pertify it.
Next, shows you should see! In chronological order, these would be:
June 19 and 20 ~ STEAMfest
We are performing twice Saturday at 2:30 and again at 5:00…and then twice Sunday at 1:00 and then again at 3:30. All of these are main-stage shows, so come check it out! We will be performing some of our most rarely-exhibited material in new and exciting ways…definitely not a show to be missed! Steamfest is a great initiation for those of you who are not yet well-schooled in the subtleties of the Steampunk movement. Test your toes in these nerdy waters before you swim in the deep end of Dragon*Con.

Next up, we will be performing at the premier of a cool new cartoon by artist Jason Thomas. From the press release:
Cradle Me, Sky Premiere!
Cradle Me, Sky is a weekly animated science-fiction adventure about the weirdness of space, unwanted friendship, and desperate robots. It premieres at cradlemesky.com at the end of June, right on my birthday! How do you celebrate such an occasion?
Throw a Launch Party, of course!
Cradle Me, Sky begins on Friday, June 25th at The Alcove gallery in Decatur from 6:00 to 11:00. We will be showing the first three serials, so you’ll get to see it before the rest of the internet! You’ll be able to say you were there and witnessed it from the very beginning!
There will be free beer, food, and best of all, the astounding Thimblerig Circus will be performing for your amazement! Baskov the Intoxicated Bear will not be there of course, but the surviving circus troupe will be doing their stuff with nails, fire, and who-knows-what-else!

Hello everyone! I’m sorry I have neglected the website for so long. Thimblerig Circus has been far busier than we could have imagined! We have been focusing on our facebook page as a way to get information out…it’s just so easy! But there are things we want to share that only a website can really facilitate easily, so over the next weekor two I hope to be working on the space a lot. Turn it from being our shed out back to more of a home. Maybe like a second home. One we stay at some of the year but always keep up so we can rent it out in the off-season.
Hope to see you all soon!

Though it comes late, we would like to thank everyone who helped make our Valentines Day Show such a success for us! Specifically, thanks to Robert, Lucas, Jennifer, David, Jillian, and Judah. Your spectacular talents made the show not only possible, but amazing! Thimblerig hopes that one day we can return the favor to you all!
We also appreciate everyone who came out to see the show. We got a lot of great feedback, and will be using a lot of the ideas that we’ve heard to improve the show! If you saw the show and have (upon reflection) thought of anything else that we could do to make the show more (insert positive adjective) we would love to hear it! Send it to us at ThimblerigCircus@yahoo.com
More timely thanks to Woodland Elementary who hosted Thimblerig as a part of their fund raiser for Haiti tonight. We had a blast teaching juggling and putting a mustache on anyone that would stand still long enough. We truly enjoyed being a part, and look forward to working with you guys again sometime soon!

Thanks to the crafty work of Geoffrey Brown, we have a delightful poster with which to spread the word about our upcoming Valentines Day show! Bask in it’s online glory, but also keep careful watch…these fancy fliers will soon be donning the walls of all the fanciest of businesses and trendiest of coffeehouses. Collectors items, every one!
We are becoming ever more excited about the show. We have something new and wonderful in the works! Though several new bits will be revealed onstage this Valentine’s, the new finale will knock your collected socks off.
Get your tickets now! A mere ten dollars a person is a steal when what you are really buying is a memory you and your loved one can cherish forever. And it’s even better for you lonely suckers out there, seeing as how you didn’t have to buy anyone dinner beforehand.

We have had the pleasure of inflicting our peculiar entertainment stylings on the denizens of the Winnwood Retirement Community in Marietta, Georgia. Thanks for having us out, guys! We had a really great time performing two short shows. Having them back-to-back was really a great boon for us…we could immediately assess how the first show went and make changes as necessary. We should get in with a Renaissance Festival or similar, where we could have four or five shows a day. We would refine the show so quickly!
We are excited about the Valentines Day show, and you should be too. We are going to be unveiling some brand new acts, one of which I am beyond thrilled about. We are also going to be bringing some friends with us to join in the fun! Talented musicians, dancers, magicians, and other such folk will be helping us celebrate (and/or destroy) the spirit of Valentines Day. Reserve your night on Friday Feb. 12, and your Sunday 14th at around 2:30. These will be landmark shows for Thimblerig Circus, and you shouldn’t miss out!
Updates soon!

Thanks to everyone who came out to see perform with Mick Stone!!! Thimblerig salutes those who didn’t let the ice and snow deter them. It was a great show and we really want to thank him and the Academy for having us out to play!
Look out for Thimblerig Circus performances in February! We are going to be hosting a Valentines Day Show at the Academy on the Friday before Valentines Day (Feb. 12th), and then again on Valentines day itself! Make room on your calendars to bring that very special someone to a very special show. Details to follow soon!
Tonight: even more *daring* poses!
Those who brave the arctic conditions will be treated to the show of their lives tonight, as THIMBLERIG takes stage with magician Mick Stone at the Academy Theatre in Avondale Estates, Ga! With an 8pm showtime, we recommend you get there by about 7:15. Prepare yourselves for onstage-daring like you’ve rarely seen, as the Moldavian Trio thrills you with such sights as the horrible BED OF NAILS, must-be-seen-to-be-believed acts of contortion, and mystifying acts of FIRE CONSUMPTION…plus much, much more!
Visit http://academytheatre.org/ for more details, and we’ll see you there!
